What gives Jose the edge? The consistency. Aaron Judge had 208 strikeouts and only batted .228 after the All Star break. He also set a record by striking out at least one time in 37 straight games (could’ve been more if he wasn’t taken out the 38th game). Also, since it was so close, I don’t see them giving the MVP to someone not on the World Series Championship team.

I could make a short/tall joke, but those are getting old. I mean it was like David beating Goliath.
